Three days worth of comics by kids in my Comic Art Masterclasses in Wigan, Belfast, and Limavady. Have I ever mentioned distance is no object?
Wigan & Leigh libraries came after the longest drive I can remember for many a year. When I set off on Monday lunchtime, satnav suggested my three hours would be nearer four. What it didn’t anticipate was a two car crash on the M6 that blocked it for a few hours, followed by a closed stretch of M6 which took four hours to escape from. Having thought I’d get to my hotel in time to eat and watch Only Connect and Uni Challenge, I finally got there at 9:50 after a journey of slightly over eight and a half hours! Anyway, the classes the next day were smashing.
Grand Opera House Belfast was quicker to get to than Wigan. Left the house at 4.30, caught a 7.05 flight, picked up my hire car, and was parked and loaded into the Opera House by just after 9, ready for a class starting at 10. Could I make this paragraph more prosaic and boring? Of course both classes were delightful
Roe Valley Arts Limavady was another treat and joy, though we only attracted four punters to the afternoon session, which is a shame. What do I care, I’m not on a doorsplit. Smiley face emoji.
The celebrities these six groups chose to appear in my demonstration strip were Mr Beast, Scary Evil Old Michael Jackson (twice), Damon Albarn, Taylor Swift, and David Attenborough.
